It's a good overview of art phases. Of course it only focuses on the most popular ones. It does try to touch one periods in every relevant region for the particular time period. It's a great way to get through thousands of years of Art History and still have a very good understanding.

If you want to get more specific with a certain art period, this may not be the book to choose.

This book was fantastic! It was easy to follow and easy to find things in.

This book was one I really enjoyed! It was an easy read and it helped me understand certain forms of art I didn't before, it made me discover a whole new way of thinking and critiquing. The book had many exciting and compelling pictures that not only entertained me but they intrigued me and allowed me to, at hand, apply what I learned. I highly recommend this book!
